The stock shows at Chicagn.

Numbered with important lessons
learned by wide awake farmers at the
recent stock shows at Chicago, is the ad
Tantge of pure blood in the improvement
OF all stock and the excellence attained
through careful selection and breeding in
meat production and in the dairy inter
eSts
The show of cattle comprised short
horns, Jerseys, Herefords, Devons, Aber-
deen-Angus, Holstein- Freision, Sussex
and grades and crosses. The Herefords
made a fine show, though not present in
great numbers. The breed most largely
represented, both by pure bred animals
and grades, was the short horn.
The swine breeders were out in, full
force, and the show of fat hogs repre-
Nnied the various breeds, Berkshires,
roland Chinas, Essex, Duroes, Nictorias,
large and small Yorkshires and others.
The exhibit of horses was fine one,
especially in draft horses-Normans, Per-
eherons and Clydesdales. There was also
q talr showing of Cleveland bays and
french coach horses.
At the poultry show the Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmas appear to have lost
none oil their old popularity, and were out
IN hne array. Ofthe newer breeds the
aahgshang and Wyandottes lead. These
'Wo breeds seem to be running very
sNeh race for popularity.

EXCURSION rates were refused the Pa

IT is fact too plain to be longer dis
guised, that the wealth produced by the
masses is gathered in by few men,
when compared with our nearly 60,000,-
600 people, and after it is so gathered,
consultations and monopolies are formed
to control the political element, elec-
tions, legislation, courts and govern
ment to an alarming extent. This evil
should be corrected-it must be correc-
ted or our American liberties will soon
depart forever, and the American far
mers become the serfs of moneyed
aristoracy. The only remedy is organi-
zation and education. The Grange is
the organization and its highest object
is education.

In the matter Of lighthouse Illumination

In the matter Of Lighthouse illumination
experiments appear to show that, while the
electric arc light is more absorbed in propor-
ton than gas or oil light, as it passes through
fog, still its greater intensity enables it TO
penetrate much further than those. The
Berlin core carbons, manufactured by Sic
mems, have been found to operate best, the
coro being Of graphite. On the whole, in
vestigation thus far renders it apparent that,
for ordinary purposes Of lighthouse illumina-
ton, mineral oil possesses superior advan-
tages, and that for salient or prominently
projecting headlands and very powerful
lights electricity is superior.-New York

The very best class of farmers are
now uniting with the Grange. Those
who have been willing to labor and give
the management, even of their own af-
fairs, into the hands of those who have
stood ready to take the results of their
labor, but are at last awakening from
their long sleep to find themselves liv-
ing lives of isolation, without business
habits and with few social advantages
They are asking why we should not
assist each other, why may we not CO.
operate and secure for our labor better
returns? shall we not break up this
isolation and meet where our families
may have season of enjoyment and
recreation?

Carbolic Smoke Ball.

This is a new and certain remedy for
Colds, Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and
Hay Fever, and when used ith"Debellator"
gives immediate relief and effects a cure.
Neuralgia, Headache, Earache, loss of smell
and hearing, sore or liberated throat or
lungs are always a result of neglected colds
or catarrh, and all remedies heretofore used
have only given temporary relief and little
of that, because they did not reach the seat
of the disease.
"Carbolic Smoke Ball " is applied by in
halation; (no fire used) and reaches the
seat of these direful disgusting diseases and
with positive results, "Debellator" must
be used in chronic cases, puriies the blood

THE

-+Cash Premiums to Agents.

In order to stimulate effort on the part of
agents, at this leisure season of the year, to
extend the circulation of the WEEKLY
AMERICAN, the management has deter
mined to offer one hundred and twenty cash
premiums to persons who will engage in the
work. 1t is hoped and believed that the
liberal amounts offered will cause an indus
trious rivalry throughout contiguous sec
tons, and many thousands be induced to
take the paper who have not hitherto re-
ceiyed it. Not merely our regular agents
are invited to engage in this competition,
but all persons whatsoever who see proper
to contend for the premiums offered. A
book will be opened in which every agent
will be credited with each name sent, be.
ginning July Is, 1887, until Nov. !, 1887, at
whice time the awards will be made accord.

THE most brazen, impudent and
bold-faced prevarication of facts
which we have read lately is an ed
itorial in the Chattanooga Times, in
which that paper plays the old bluff
game of "prohibitiOn don'tprohibit."
If prohibition doesn't prohibit, then
why, on earth are the ants and
whisky men fighting it'so bitterly ?
1t is passing strange that they would
spend their time and their money by
the thousands in trying to defeat the
measure if their accused traffic was
not in danger.

SOME of our good friends are rather
disposed to grumble at us for what
they consider our unwise criticism of
Sam Jones, simply because Sam
Jones is an earnest worker for pro-
hibition. We certainly wish Mr..
Jones would speak and conduct him
self in the pulpit in such a manner as
to be above criticism, but he does
not, and when he so far forgets him
self as to faint the sanctity of the pull
pit by the use of improper language
therein, he lays himself liable to Sc
we're criticism, and should not be
shielded from it simply because he is
engaged in a good cause. We COM
mend Mr.. Jones' zeal for christianity
and prohibition, but from our rever-
ence for these we are constrained to
condemn some of his sacrilegious
language in the pulpit and on the
platform. In support of our position
we only deem it necessary to quote
the following from one of his recent
lectures: q like a man that is a
true man to have ninety per cent.
backbone to say and to do what he
feels to be right. The people here
have disappointed me and 1 intend
to tell you that as far as any good
the Lord is likely to receive, you are
not worth hell ROOM"

OUR neighbor, the McMinnville
"New Error" in its last weeks issue,
goes over boots, breeches, body and
soul, into the camp of the whisky
men. Previous to the meeting of the
whisky protective association held
here last week, the Era had affected a
neutral position on the prohibition
question, although what little infu-
ence it had left was practically eX-
erted against prohibition. This pos
tive stand upon the wrong side of
this great question, following as it
didright upon the heels ofthe whisky
convention, gives a reasonable found
alton for the many rumors set afOat
to the effect that the paper was per-
suaded into this "New Error" by
the Doodle Of the whisky men. Moth
ing is further from us than any de-
sire to do the Era an injustice, and if
it will come out fairly and ~squarely
and deny receiving any money from
the whisky men for its advocacy of
their cause, we will cheerfully help
it to circulate the denial. But If the
I" New Error" is actuated by honest
conviction will it please answer why
it has been so long quiescent on the
issue? The question has been warm.
ly discussed through the papers Of the
State for two or three months, and
the New Error plainly admits by
its leading editorials of last week thai
it is of sufficient importance to. de.
mand the profound consideration
of every citizen of the State, Their
why did the New Error" not as,
sert its honest conviction weeks ago
1t would certainly have relieved it o
the odium which now rests upon it O
having sold out to the whisky men
1t is anything but a pleasant duty t
us to thus chronicle the sad degener
aCy of the i" old reliable New Era
and we would have eenproud indeed
to have had it stand shoulder t
shoulder with us in Il gallant fgh
against the saloon and all its iniqui
ties.
